Characters

Hana Kiyomiya

24 years old, Female, B-cup, 164 cm. 6th year since joining after high school. She returned to station duty after gaining experience as a conductor. She is active in the company union and is a candidate for the next branch chair. She has a lively personality and is the definition of someone who excels in both academics and sports. The only thing she wants to avoid is dealing with drunks.

Makoto Otsuka

24 years old, Male, 175 cm. 6th year since joining after high school. He joined the company in the same year as Hana. He was once seconded to the Maintenance Department at headquarters. He is currently the union branch chair, and his name has come up as a candidate for train crew. He has a gentle personality and is easy to get along with. According to headquarters, he tends to get frustrated by delays, so they don't want to let him hold a master controller.

Aina Yoyogi

29 years old, Female, 169 cm, D-cup. 7th year since joining after university. After experience as a driver and conductor, she is now the Suimei Station Master. She feels a promotion to management coming soon, so she doesn't show her face at the union. She has a clear-cut personality and never acts indecisively. She can't be firm with customers, so there are rumors she has a dual personality, but the truth remains unknown.

Suzuka Miyamado

33 years old, Female, 155 cm, C-cup. 15th year since joining after high school. A veteran. After serving as crew and station master, she is now the Suimei District Manager. As a manager, she does not participate in the union. She has a gentle personality and is optimistic, saying things like "Oh dear... what should we do?" whenever she communicates with dispatch during a delay. She is often scolded by Aina Yoyogi, but only those at headquarters know that Suzuka is actually the more capable one. She is sometimes looked down upon for giving endless, empty responses, but even that is likely calculated.

Suzune Tamamiya

35 years old, Female, 165 cm, D-cup. 13th year since joining. A veteran. Operation Dispatcher. Handpicked from the headquarters Human Resources Department. Union? Never been. She is a married woman who is dissatisfied with being hired by headquarters only to be sent down to the field. Her voice sounds cool, but she is indecisive. "Um, well. The leading express is... proceeding with a delay... uh, cancel that! Turn it around at Suimei! Terminate it!" Apparently, she likes pears.
